CAC Announces MAKER Grant Recipients

CAC, OtherPeoplesPixels, and the Coney Family are thrilled to announce the recipients of the 2018 MAKER Grant, an award opportunity for three Chicago-based contemporary visual artists who demonstrate a commitment to a socially conscious, progressive and sustainable artist practice and career development.

MAKER Grant Program’s unrestricted awards of one at $5,000 (Coney Family Fund Award) and two at $3,000 (OtherPeoplesPixels Award) are intended to recognize exceptional emerging or established artists working in Chicago, and support the advancement of their artistic careers.

Thank you to the esteemed leading arts professionals who served as jurors this year.

This grant is generously funded by the Coney Family and portion of proceeds from the Chicago Artists Coalition’s annual fundraiser, WORK IN PROGRESS, as well as a benevolent matching contribution from OtherPeoplesPixels.
